Summary
Socorro Aguilar is a Head of Frontend Development & User Experience with 11 years of full-stack engineering experience, currently leading frontend strategy and UX at Vendorflow from Long Beach, California. She brings deep expertise in JavaScript, React, Node.js and TypeScript migrations, and a track record of improving developer workflows through standards, BDD-driven user stories, and testing culture. Previously she led major frontend rewrites and architectural work—building BFFs, migrating databases, and converting large codebases from Flow to TypeScript—while stepping into interim leadership to align product and engineering. Socorro pairs hands-on delivery (from PDF data automation pipelines to Stripe-integrated SaaS UIs and AWS integrations) with mentoring and cross-team enablement, often increasing team velocity through documentation and lunch-and-learns. Her background in applied computer science and experience driving both UX improvements and backend-for-frontend patterns make her adept at turning ambiguous requirements into reliable, testable product features.
